From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ntsync is superior to esync/fsync for stability. they were incompatible with certain workloads
No doubt about ntsync being superior and better than the hacky solutions of current implementation. My point is only about the performance gains, which can be misleading to some people if they do not pay attention. I'm not saying anyone was "false advertising" here, just making clear its compared against the base WINE version and not Proton.
I'm still curious and want to see how much of a performance difference in a real Steam environment will be.
